WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va.  Tyeler Davison prepared for his rookie season by training with one of the best.

Davison spent six weeks in the pre-draft process training with Keith Millard, a former All-Pro who won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1989 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Millard had 18 sacks that season. By the time Davison was done training with the former star, the fifth-round pick from Fresno State had a whole new set of weapons in his arsenal.

He gave us a lot of pointers on pass rush, different moves that he used to use, because he played a lot of 3-technique, Davison said. Not only that, but he gave us a lot of reads in the run game, coming out of your stance and reading real quick.
